If Municipal Railway riders have a personal gripe or a great idea, they are invited to meet with the transit agency's new boss on Saturday mornings starting August 10.

Public Transportation Director Emilio Cruz will host face-to-face sessions to allow passengers to air their concerns. The program is modeled after similar meetings held by Mayor Willie Brown, who has held two "open-door days" in which residents had a chance to speak to him directly.

Cruz and other Muni officials will be on hand to answer questions. The first session will be held August 10 from 8 a.m. to noon at Muni's Green division, 425 Geneva Ave. The dates for the other sessions are August 17; September 7, 14, 21 and 28; and October 5. The passenger meetings will be held at various Muni facilities. For more information, call 673-MUNI.
